Philosophy, Theology, Preparedness.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!”‭‭- Psalm‬ ‭103‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Last year was a particularly difficult one for me. I felt alone, isolated, depressed, and tired. I knew that things needed to change, that I needed to change, and that my life needed to change. CarryingContinue reading “Philosophy, Theology, Preparedness.”

Nine to Five: A Sleep Cycle Story

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently? I, like most people in their teens through thirties, have a hard time sleeping. Which is weird, because sleep is one of the most important bodily functions for your physical and mental health. Up until about a year ago, I really didn’t understand whatContinue reading “Nine to Five: A Sleep Cycle Story”

Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency

For the past four years, I’ve been making blog posts. Over that time, I’ve managed to tally up only 75 actual posts to this page. More than 1000 days, and I’ve made 75 posts. I’m not off to a great start, am I? I’ve never been particularly consistent. It seems in life if there’s oneContinue reading “Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency”

The Deep Dark Void (of home improvement)

Once again, as has happened every year for the past three years, things have gone horribly wrong. Shocker, I know. Every time I think I’m going to commit to posting more frequently, something comes up and ruins the plan. Maybe I’m the problem, or maybe it’s just dreadful luck. This year, the plan was toContinue reading “The Deep Dark Void (of home improvement)”

Origin

What brands do you associate with? American manufactured brands are becoming a staple of my lifestyle currently. I’m pretty anti consumerism, so I don’t buy a lot of new things, but when I do, I tend to aim towards more American brands. When it comes to clothing, I specifically look to Origin brand clothing. ToContinue reading “Origin”

Just Do Something

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? It’s not as easy as it seems. The weight of depression has been heavy on my heart and mind for the past few years. I’m tired, emotionally and mentally. I’ve seen horrible things at work, and then come home and allowed life to fall in to chaos. Then I letContinue reading “Just Do Something”

Live With Intention

I’ve been wandering mentally for a long time. And while most would think that there is nothing wrong with that, I tend to disagree. I’ve been floating from topic to topic, mental item to mental item for quite some time. I’ve allowed the many distractions of the world to pull me in different directions. TheContinue reading “Live With Intention”
